Finally, the PWR indicator light should remain illuminated. Your SOHO 6 is now reset to factory defaults.

The base model SOHO 6

The base model SOHO 6 comes with a ten-seat license; that is, ten computers have access to the Internet through the SOHO 6. Remember, while only four appliances connect directly to the four (numbered 0-3) Ethernet ports, one or more of these appliances can be a hub or router. Please see, “Cabling the SOHO 6 for more than four computers” on page 20.

Register your SOHO 6 and Activate the LiveSecurity Service

Once the SOHO 6 is installed and configured, you need to register the unit and activate your bundled LiveSecurity Service subscription. Activation entitles you to receive threat alert notifications, expert security advice, free anti-virus protection, software updates, technical support by web or phone, and access to extensive online help resources and our user forum. You must also activate to retrieve feature keys for any upgrades you have purchased.

Be sure that you have the SOHO 6 serial number handy. You will need this during the registration process.
